Chicago Cubs legend Ryne Sandberg gave an update about his battle with cancer on Wednesday. The Baseball Hall of Famer has been going through treatment after his prostate cancer relapsed last December.

In a recurrent battle with the disease, Sandberg had announced that he was cancer-free last August before the cancer came back and eventually spread to other organs.

“It’s been a challenging few months as I have been going through treatment on a regular basis,” Sandberg wrote on Instagram on Wednesday. “While I am continuing to fight, I’m looking forward to making the most of every day with my loving family and friends.”

Ryne Sandberg played all but 13 of his 2,164 games as a Cub. In those 15 seasons, he made the All-Star Game 10 times and was also named the National League MVP for the 1984 season. He was a gun infielder, winning the Gold Glove nine times in his career.

Sandberg finished his career with a .285 batting average on 2,386 hits with 1,061 runs batted in and 282 home runs. His jersey number 23 has been retired by the club. He was inducted into Cooperstown in 2005 with a 76.2% vote on his third ballot.

Sandberg had a short stint as a manager of the Philadelphia Phillies, from 2013 to 2015, the club where he started his career. He held a .428 winning percentage as a manager before eventually returning to the Cubs as a brand ambassador during their drought-breaking World Series-winning year in 2016.

The 65-year-old’s most recent appearance at Wrigley Field came when he threw the first pitch of this year’s Cubs home opener.

The 1984 season is considered to be a turning point in the Cubs franchise history. Their National League pennant winning effort put them on the map as contenders. They were led by Ryne Sandberg, who won the MVP on the back of .314 average with 84 RBIs and 19 home runs.

Two of these dingers came in the famous ‘Sandberg Game’ between the Cubs and the Cardinals at Wrigley Fried, where the slugger hit two home runs in the ninth and the tenth to tie the game with the Cubs eventually winning in eleven innings.

“I haven’t been to Wrigley Field as much as I hoped in the first half but I’m watching every game and am excited for the second half and to see Wrigley rocking like 1984!” Sandberg wrote.

Ryne Sandberg’s enthusiasm comes from the fact that currently his Cubs are well positioned as contenders. They have the 2nd best record in the National League with a 57-39 record and are expected to make a deep run into the playoffs.
